Top 10 Songs of 2022
Following up my top 10 albums of the year list, it’s perhaps easier to single out the best individual songs of the year, as one doesn’t have to weigh entire tracklists against each other. Each of the songs on this list had just a few minutes to, in a single stroke, explore the emotions and […] More

This is for Chrissy: Favorite Moments from Stranger Things Season 4
The following contains spoilers for all of Stranger Things Season 4. Netflix’s model makes writing consistently on their shows difficult for those of us who don’t seem to have the time to binge multiple episodes of a series all at once. For Stranger Things Season 4 they did, thankfully, tweak the model by releasing the […] More

Let Your Body Move To The Music: Favourite Songs Of Pose
Pose is one of a kind: joyful, tragic, gorgeous, and queer. I can honestly say that no other TV show has moved me to tears so frequently. Transgender representation on TV is pretty thin on the ground (even as gay and bisexual representation is on the rise) but here is a show that celebrates the […] More

Rachel Bloom Steals the Show in these Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Favourites!
A while back I shared my favourite Crazy Ex-Girlfriend songs that didn’t feature Rachel Bloom. Every song in the show is perfection, but there are some that speak to me and get under my skin and I never stop singing them!

BoJack Horseman’s Top 10 Worst Moments!
Content Warning: “BoJack Horseman’s Top 10 Worst Moments!” references addiction, sexual assault, and violence against women. BoJack Horseman is my favorite TV show. The six-season absurdist animated dark comedy has some of the most nuanced portrayals of mental illness, feminism, fame, and generational trauma on television…and also stars a talking alcoholic horse. BoJack Horseman (Will […] More

South Park Favourite Episodes: The Hunting of the Snark
I don’t know about you, but I’m at that point in the pandemic where my brain is fed up with all the comfort TV I have been feeding it in an attempt to soothe it. What my pandemic brain wants now is snark. No, I don’t mean Lewis Carroll’s wacky mythical creature—I want irreverent, cutting […] More

Wait, Did They Just… Five Favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer References in Other Media
There are few shows out there that have become icons long after they have ended. Every generation seems to have at least one that they continue to talk about, write about, and in some cases sneak little homages to in their own work. I Love Lucy, ER, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Game of Thrones are […] More

“Home, Sweet, Home”: Best Buffy Character Entrances
There is an abundance of compelling characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; that’s simply common knowledge. From sarcastic librarians to punk vampires (who are equally loveable), Buffy’s got it all. Naturally, the coolest characters must have the coolest introductions, and there are a good number of those across the show as well. So here are […] More

Everyone Loves A Librarian: Favourite Giles Moments in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Much-adored by fans of the show, Rupert Giles is one of the most influential characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Uptight Watcher, father figure, socially-awkward librarian, ex-rebel with a dark past—the man contains many facets. Anthony Head’s endearing yet varied portrayal of the character completes him. It’s easy to go on about what makes Giles […] More

The Righteous Gemstones: Favorite Moments from Season 1 as We Prep for Season 2
It’s been a long two and a half years since The Righteous Gemstones graced our screens. In preparation for Season 2, which premieres on HBO with two episodes on January 9th 2022, I thought it was a good time to revisit the first season. One of my favorite things about this show is how it […] More
